Kabamba Floors will celebrate his 50th appearance for the Cheetahs by returning to the starting line-up when the Currie Cup champions play the Falcons here on Friday night.

Pieter Jordaan writes in Volksblad that the bustling Springbok loose forward, one of the most popular players in the Free State, has not been in a run-on team in Super 14 and Currie Cup rugby this season.

However, with Cheetahs captain Hendro Scholtz injured, Floors has an opportunity to start a match and at the same time reach the milestone of 50 matches. He will certainly be eager to make it a night to remember.

“There are few flankers who can run around an outside centre the way he did against the Sharks last week,” Drotské said, referring to the way the 27-year-old Floors had beaten Waylon Murray in the build-up to Fabian Juries’s try.

“I’ve always said he will play if his attitude is right, on and off the field,” the coach said.
